   Review - iTunes for Windows

   7.4.3 (Sep 28, 2007)

   49MB!? What are they thinking? I have an Athlon 64 3800+ and a Geforce 6800 GT and this thing runs like cr@p. I use WMP11 now or foobar2000 for music because iTunes is a huge resource hog and is poorly written. Why do they need to update this hunk of trash every 15 minutes anyway? Because it's consistently filled with bugs, that's why.

   Review - Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows

   1.5 RC2 (Dec 22, 2005)

   An excellent product. Faster and easier than Outlook and works better.

   Review - PowerArchiver 2010

   9.50 (Oct 27, 2005)

   Disc image support, WinXP x64 support and the stability of the program make it the best non-free archiving option and one of the best archiving tools period. Great features and speed!

   Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

   0.7.13 Beta (Oct 12, 2005)

   I do indeed like the interface of this version, I haven't really checked out the memory usage though (I assume it to be much higher than the current AIM). However, the AIM Ad Hack Beta for this is pretty sweet, and you can remove all the unnecessary portions that AOL bundles with this software. AIM Triton has a clean interface and stylish tabbed IMs. However, I would like to see AOL add the ability for users to rename buddy screenames (like Trillian). This version is going to be HUGE for AOL.

   Review - X-Setup Pro

   7.2 (Sep 21, 2005)

   Very advanced, yet the user friendly wizards make this program a must!

6. Comment - Sony Drops Prices, Confirms 40GB PS3

   7.2 (Oct 18, 2007 - 7:08 PM)

   Bottom line: Most people are gonna buy a Wii. Secondly, the PS3's so-called "potential" will never be realized because it's too damn hard to program for. The PS3's next-gen graphics will be exceeded by PCs in the near future (*cough* Crysis). And I doubt that PS3 developers will ever be able to attain Crysis-style graphics...ever. The PS3 API is too damn complicated which matches the even more complex hardware. In any case, why would developers dump money into a console which has an ever-diminishing market share? Who the hell has an HDTV anyway? Probably the same people who can afford a $500 gaming system, which is a very limited population.

7. Comment - Halo 3: Not Game Over, But Awful Close

   7.2 (Sep 25, 2007 - 2:59 PM)

   "To date, there are really only two standout games on that platform: Zelda and Metroid. The console's price and haptic capabilities will only take it so far. Too many of the Wii's games are simply too simplistic right now to satisfy many."
   
   While I may agree that many of the Wii's games are overly simplistic, I don't think that Halo 3 will have much an effect on the Wii's success. Let's see: Guitar Hero 3, Smash Brothers Brawl, and Mario Galaxy are all due to arrive in the next 3 months. Wii is going to be top dog for a long time to come.

8. Comment - iPhone Owners, Check Your Bill

   7.2 (Jul 10, 2007 - 10:32 AM)

   Biggest product launch in the last decade? What about the Nintendo Wii or the DS? Those are still difficult to find in stores and had equal amount of hype, at least for me.

9. Comment - Calif. Man Faces 101 Years for Phishing

   7.2 (Jan 17, 2007 - 7:23 PM)

   He's not gonna be facing 101 years, not even close. I predict he'll be sentenced somewhere in the 10-20 years range maximum.

10. Comment - PS3 Sales in Japan Fall 49 Percent

    7.2 (Dec 1, 2006 - 2:01 PM)

    The fact of the matter remains that PS3 has significantly hurt their sales by the fact that they have not been able to manufacture the console. I think PS3 will be a far and away third place in this battle because of price and the initial unavailability of the system. My prediction (an obvious one at that): PS3 will be unsuccessful and Blu-Ray will go the way of Betamax.
